At 7 p.m., Thursday, the Bad Axe High School cafetorium will come alive with music. “Straight to the Top,” the title of this year’s annual choral spring program, will feature performers from the Junior High School and High School Choral departments. In the first half of the program, the sixth grade choir will perform “A Pirate’s Life” and “Walking in the Air.” The junior high school choir, just back from State Choral Festival, will perform “Dance, Love, Sing, Live!”, and “A Joyful Son.” The sixth grade choir will join the junior high school choir for a combined performance of “I Believe.” The high school chorale, also back from a State Choral Festival performance where they earned a “I” rating, will sing “In this Ancient House” and “Come Live with Me.” Several soloists and ensembles will be interspersed throughout the program, including: Jacob Currie on ukulele singing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” as done by IZ and Jaimmika Bouverette singing “Hall Om Mig” in Swedish.

The second half of the program will transport you to the Broadway stage with some exceptional medleys. The Madrigals (the most elite performing group at Bad Axe High School) will give an exciting rendition of the Tony award-winning show “Grease.” The sixth grade choir performs a Disney Silly Sing-Along that will have everyone singing. The Junior High School Choir will sing and dance their way into your heart with their rendition of “Anastasia.” The high school chorale will close with a medley from “Les Miserable.” Posters with the number 24601 have been placed around the school with no explanation. The answer is that it is the prison number of Jean Valjean, the show’s main character. As always, the seniors will end the show with a song; this one from Brother Bear entitled “On My Way.” Seniors this year include Jaimmika Bouverette, Kendra Neumann, Lucas Rego, and Jamie Siewert. As always, the show is free and open to the public.
